Meet your expert guide by the Vatican Museum entrance and enjoy skip-the-line entry to what is arguably the most important collection of art in the world. Your guide knows every nook and cranny of the museums and will navigate seamlessly through the more than 1,200 galleries. Much of this tour will be dedicated to the majestic Sistine Chapel, from its commissioning to the finishing touches applied by none other than Michaelangelo Buonarroti. You will hear the true life story of this fascinating yet tormented artist, who considered himself a sculptor and not a painter yet dedicated countless years of his life painting frescoes on a ceiling 44 feet high. Learn of the physical and psychological damage inflicted on the artist as your guide helps you to discern between myth, fact, and popular Hollywood fiction regarding this epic work of art. At the end you can explore some of the remaining 1,400 galleries of art at your own pace.

Chiara is a lively, knowledgeable guide with a good sense of humor. She helps you sift through some of the most important works of art and gives you a greater understanding of context. There are so many beautiful things to look at, so it's good to have a little help! Thank you very much for a great morning! From your Norwegian friends :)

We did the 2 hour express tour of the Vatican and it was lovely!! Our tour guide, Chiara, was so knowledgeable and very funny. She had an art history degree and taught us so much. We were on the move most of the time, but the pace still let us enjoy everything we saw. She stopped at key places and gave us a lot of info, also making it interactive. I liked how she gave most of us nicknames. We were a small group of 13, and somehow we got there on a day that wasn't crowded. After the tour, we had the option to stay and continue exploring on our own... we felt a little lost without having an experienced guide to help us appreciate what we were seeing. I highly recommend this tour if you want to fit the Vatican into your Rome visit but not spend a whole day there.
